i felt the same way when i installed my eisenmann that it was too quiet. After removing my resonator and waiting for the break in period it sounds great. But i want quads now.

So... got the ACS exhaust installed today... it attaches after the resonators.... Overall I'm a little disappointed with how quiet it is. It's noticeable at idle, but doesn't really show any significant difference in tone during acceleration or cruising speeds. Even with the windows down it doesn't appear to have much more tone than a stock exhaust for a 530i. Figured it would scream a little more I guess. Any reccommendations on how to liven it up a little? Are removing the resonators my only route? And how loud will it be once I remove them? I'm not trying to wake up the neighbors I'm just trying to make my car a bit more pronounced.
I had the ACS exhaust on my e39 540 6 speed and loves it. I agreed the sound is not loud but I have happy with it. Now I got the Supersprint exhaust on my 545 and I still cannot get used to the loud rumbling sound in cabin during low speed with rpm between 2000 to 3000. But the sound was easy to noticed and a lot of people turn heads when I was stock in the traffic or driving in the parking lot..
So now anyone will still think my Supersprint is too quiet? See video: http://www.youtube.com/v/Z_yVj_zn30k
